my microcosm

The Anarchist Cookbook

With an introduction by Peter Bergman; this book will disturb, it will provoke—it places in historical perspective an era when "Turn on, Burn down, Blow up" are revolutionary slogans of the day. "This book . . . is not written for the members of fringe political groups, such as The Weathermen, or The Minutemen. Those radical groups don't need this book. They already know everything that's in here. If the real people of America, the silent majority, are going to survive, they must educate themselves. That is the purpose of this book." —P. M. Bergman. It's a creepy forward knowing what we now know about the assemblage and contents of this "manual": That it was meant to destabilize radical political movements. But it's still an interesting work to study under that lens and we are frequently asked for it so here it is.
